Common Types of Clogs

Depending on what sort of drain is blocked—kitchen sink, bathroom
sink, tub, or floor drain—you could be dealing with one of several
different types of clogs, or even a combination.

Several Common Causes Of Drain Clogs In The Home Include:

Fats, oils, and grease—often abbreviated as FOG

Hair and soap residue in shower drains

Food and cooking debris in kitchen sinks

Lint buildup in a washer drain hose

Tree roots in underground pipes

Keeping Your Drains Clean

There are a variety of at-home methods for cleaning drains. Some of them
work for a little while. Others are ineffective at best and may even be
harmful in the long term.

While a commercial chemical drain cleaner can clear small blockages or
a slow drain, it’s possible for them to leave behind a residue that
contributes to future clogs. Or worse, depending on your system and the
type of piping material used, these chemical drain cleaners can corrode
pipes or impair your
septic system. If you’ve had plumbing problems in the past, or aren’t sure
what kind of pipe you have, it’s better not to risk it.

Regularly check your tub and sink stoppers for gunk and debris, and clean
out any visible buildup at the top of the drain.

Use a lint trap on your washing machine’s drain hose and check the hose
regularly for blockages.

As with many things in life, preventing problems is the best way to keep
your drain system working better longer.
